Hi, I just got a Prada Saffiano double handle handbag, could you please authenticate? I have the pictures in photobucket. I hope you can see them using this link, I haven't used this website in a long time and I can't remember if there's another way to share pictures. Please disregard the Louis Vuitton pictures, I couldn't delete them. Thanks!

I forgot to mention that it has the small white tag, I think it's called the season code, but I couldn't take a picture of it. It says 25.

It's authentic - and that Turchese is such a gorgeous color.

Thank you missfiggy! I've been holding my breath because I bought it from Myhabit and I've read all the comments about fake bags on that website. I've examined it closely, I'm no expert, but it is a beautiful bag. I had the nagging doubt that it might be one of those superfakes I hear about. I do love the color combination!

Hi, I just purchased a Prada Lux Galleria and yet to receive it. I did a lot of research prior to making the purchase but this is my first Prada piece so I'm a bit worried. I was deciding between this and the LV Alma BB and took the plunge and purchased the below.

Item Name: Prada Saffiano Lux Galleria Shopping Bag 25cm
Listing number: 6214754-1BA896NZVF06320001S
Seller ID: Reebonz
Link: http://www.reebonz.com.au/event/t18208/item/1BA896NZVF06320001S?src=search
Comments: I contacted them directly and they advised me it comes with a care card, AC card and dust bag. I will post these photos once I receive the package.

The reason I'm concerned is because I searched many platforms for the small lux galleria with Nero saffiano leather and silver hardware. I could only find sites that were in Japanese and Korean. I went into a Prada store in Melbourne and asked to see a small lux galleria with silver hardware and they told me that they have never seen the a nero with silver hardware, only lighter colored leather. Perhaps it was a bag made only available in another region? I hope so anyway!

Sorry if I haven't posted enough details. If the pictures aren't sufficient, I'll post some when I receive the package.

Thanks in advance for your help!

MyHabit definitely was selling superfakes; I saw many of them. It may be that they realised that selling fakes was not generally good for their business or reputation. This is the second MyHabit item that I have seen that I believe to be authentic.

Unfortunately you'll have to wait until you receive your package, then post plenty of photos of what you receive, including all documents, packaging and paperwork. I won't authenticate from the photos on their site because, of course, they are photos of an authentic item. Reebonz, so far, has not onsold any fake Prada that I am aware of, and I have bought previously from there and received authentic product. And yes...different color hardware is sometimes exclusively regional. Don't know why but that's sometimes how they do it.

You have no idea the weight you just lifted off my shoulders! I don't understand how they can be related to Amazon and sell fakes. If you are convinced this is the real thing, I won't return it. I'm so in love with it! ;)

Hiya! I've done many purchases with Reebonz Singapore and they are completely reliable and trustworthy. Seeing as they are the same company despite being in different regions, I wouldn't worry too much! Can't wait to see the pics and congrats on your new fab bag xx

While this thread is for authentication requests, I will comment on this. NO and I repeat NO secondary market seller or retailer is immune to Super Fakes. The only completely trustworthy location to purchase a Prada bag is AT a Prada boutique. Period.
